| Now I have a lot of tiny creeping thyme sprouts. I am so very happy. CT is one of my favorites. I asked about it here last season but never sowed. I bought seeds from cheap seeds (2 packs for about $3 each) they had tons of seeds and I think I sowed at least a dozen containers.
I plan to edge flowerbeds and put it between stones. I am so very exctied this seed sprouted for me I just had to share!! I will post pics when it stops raining. I can't get over how well they germinated. One container is so full I can tell I over sowed. WS'ing makes me so very happy!!! Karen |

| Ooh...so glad to hear that! Now I wish I had sown more. When did you sow yours? Thanks for posting, Lisa |
|
| they were sown on 1/10/2010 and 1/31/2010. The 1/31 one is a large water cooler bottle stuck where I cannot peek so it may not have sprouted. However the sprouts are really tiny! They may even be close to true set of leaves! I am so surprised. Next year I am gonna sow Creeping thyme and Ruds mostly. They are my favorites! Karen |

| That's the same one I bought. Thousands of seeds in that pack. And if anyone got some in the swap or trade with me, those are the same ones. I haven't found mine yet, so I don't know if they've germinated. Going to be doing another check today for germinated containers. |
|
| They do give a lot of seeds at cheapseeds.com I just love that store. Great deal for lots of flowers I really like. Karen |
|
| I ws a small amount of creeping thyme a few years ago and have not had to again as it spreads rapidly and self seeds so I've always had plenty to move to new spots and share with others. Some varieties of creeping thyme do not spread as much or make as much seed. I have some very low growing ones that are almost flat to the soil. |

| 9,250 Creeping Thyme Seeds Dang, that is ALOT of seeds! I shall go sow some of the ones that I got from Tom! Its PINK! :)

| I direct sowed a lot of mine. Haven't noticed any sprouts yet, but I sowed a lot of stuff last week before the rains. I do have poppies up. That was quick. |
|
| wow, poppies already? that is quick. Our ground here is ust soaked. Anything I direct sow would have plenty of water :) I guess I should direct sow some things for fun. I just love thyme and it is so expensive pre-grown the last 6 pack I bought of plants was $10. It was one of those large ones but still too much $$. Karen |
